Kapitel 52: Entrance Examination (4): The Call.

Hugo walked close to Jasper, and it did not long before their distance was only an inch away from each other. They stared at each other with eyes both locked as their nose almost kissed from a close distance. Stella wanted to push Hugo away but knew she should not, for this could be the chance for his boyfriend to prove who he was.

"And here I thought you only have your face to show off." Hugo smiled before patting Jasper's shoulder. "Well-built muscle you have there. You are indeed qualified to fight Draven for a second. You can leave the rest to me."

Jasper's death glare intensified as his Soul power triggered. His hand formed and shaped as though a knife before he thrust it directly into Hugo's chest, where his heart lay.

"Soul Power, First stage, Second phase, wind thrust."

Hugo was taken aback but he responded to Jasper's attack with his own Soul power. He smiled in ecstasy, as he defended his chest with his fist.

"Soul Power, first stage, Second phase, fist stone."

Both attacks which were assisted by their own Soul power collided before everyone could react. They did not anticipate things would turn sour and would escalate too quickly as both sides attacked with an aim to kill. Stella was startled and wanted to join in attacking Hugo when she felt the outcome and thus halted her aim.

The knife, which was covered with wind and formed a sharp double edge as though it could penetrate every obstacle that would appear in their path, was surprisingly blocked by the fist that was also covered with an appearance similar to stone.

Jasper's face twisted as he pulled back his hand and Hugo did the same. They both stare at each other acknowledging their opponent's strength they held.

"It seemed you are also qualified to fight Draven for a second, Mr. Hugo." Jasper sneered. "Although your fist defended my knife, it's because it is for defense. If I'm going to guess, your first phase passive body should also be related to defense right? Do you want to become Draven's punching bag?"

Hugo was irked as his face distorted in displeasure while he tried to find every word to argue with Jasper. However, Jasper clearly hit his weakness, as Hugo was even aware if he could not defeat Draven with his slow attack speed despite having his fist stone, he would indeed become Draven's punching bag.

He could even barely react to Jasper's sudden attack. If it wasn't because Jasper, without a doubt, slowed his attack, his heart might have been pierced already.

"You should stop mincing your words, Jasper." The girl from Kreg high school walked to Hugo. "You are only discouraging the only person who could battle Draven more than you."

Jasper's eyebrow arced upward as he gazed at the girl who appeared to be the brain of the group. He smiled as he thought not to offend this girl as she could probably be the only person to control Hugo.

"Of course, lady." Hugo halted his words as he wanted to let the lady introduce herself to him. However, he was ignored and thus continued to say his piece with an amiable smile almost losing his eyeballs. "Mr. Hugo is probably the only student who could last longer against Draven than me."

What he said was factual as he watched Draven and Isabella's fight videos, who knows how many times. Therefore, he knew that not only did Draven hold the fire, who devoured Isabella's fire and injured her. Draven had a physique that was enhanced, and he could perhaps not react to Draven's movement.

Shaking his head to dismiss those negative thoughts, Jasper decided to return to the topic, which should have been finished a long time ago. He turned his head to Elliot, who was staring at him and Hugo in admiration while nodding his head from time to time. As though he confirmed his doubts in a single moment.

"Mr. Elliot." Jasper did not want to be polite this time for his emotion was still clouded in anger, but he managed to calm himself and act. "You should now proceed with the deal-."

However, Jasper was interrupted by the sudden shout from the distance. It was from the speaker on the platform earlier where the five prominent figures stood. It was the rugged, ear-piercing voice of the general who was calling for them while counting a number from highest to lowest.

"7… If those students failed to gather here in front of me before the countdown reached 0 will be considered fail. 6…. Time is ticking…"

Everyone could clearly hear his playful rugged voice as everyone was immediately in full alarm while running in the same direction in a panic. Jasper clicked his tongue in frustration as he watched over others before changing back to his usual self.

"Everyone?" He immediately garnered their attention. "Why don't we all move now so we would not be failed? I will run now! Bye, Bye!"

They watched Jasper move like the wind with their agape mouth. They saw him running as fast as the wind, and it would not be long before Jasper would reach the gathering area before the countdown reached three seconds. One could only imagine how fast he was.

"Tsk! It appeared his passive phase leaned more on speed." Hugo tsk.

The girl behind her wanted to explain but hold herself back as she did not want to waste any more time. She grabbed Hugo's arm before urging him to run. To further inspired him to run, she even said along the line of catching to Jasper as Hugo immediately became competitive and run like his life depended on it.

Stella, meanwhile, was stunned that she was abandoned by her lover. Elliot wanted to take this chance to garner Stella's affection when he saw Stella glared at him sensing his aim, as he halted to take his steps and made an awkward smile. Stella also runs alongside her schoolmates with the Kreg high school behind her back.

It was clear that the Kreg high school students run slowly for their heavyweight from their enormous muscles. However, it did not mean they were late for the ceremony as they made it in time before the countdown reached 0.

"It appeared everyone is here." The General sweeps his eyes to the batch of students gasping for oxygen. "As much as I wanted to have all of you take a rest. It depended on our dear Four Ancient Family scout's decision."

He turned his head to the four distinguished people, who were currently having a bored faces.

Ivy's amiably smiled once she saw her niece, who looked back at her with the same smile on her face. She could not be happier than this. Hence she was not bored anymore.

Ai had the same face ever since she introduced herself. She had her sword on her lapped sheathed as she was caressing it with care. She smiled lightly as though nothing in the world could make her unhappy.

Meanwhile, the other two felt different as they could only stare at each other trying to provoke who would attack first. When they heard the General question, their fierce stare shifted to the General, who immediately feel pressured under their glare. The General smiled and nodded his head as though not minding their aggressive looked.

"See? There is no more time to waste, so no time to rest. However, I still have to introduce something which you all should take advantage of as your resting time."

The General smiled and took out something from his pocket.
